How to find out actual link address
We use shared contacts. On a contact we usually link to a pdf file specific
to that contact. The properties of the link shows only "Shortcut to...". When the link doesn't work for some users, how can I find what the actual shortcut is? IE I'd like to know if it is a UNC link what the \\server\file is, or if it is to a drive letter, I'd like to see the drive:\folder\file. -- Doug

See if you can save the shortcut/link to your hard drive then check the
properties from My Computer and check out the 'target' "Doug" wrote in message ... We use shared contacts. On a contact we usually link to a pdf file specific to that contact.

How to find out actual link address
Thanks for the answer. It worked well. My problem, now, is how to get the
correct link in to the contact. Outlook has translated the link from the drive letter I need it to use, to a UNC which is invalid on other PCs. -- Doug "Vince Averello [MVP-Outlook]" wrote: See if you can save the shortcut/link to your hard drive then check the properties from My Computer and check out the 'target' "Doug" wrote in message ...
